AfD nomination of Danny DeManto edit

An editor has nominated Danny DeManto, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Danny DeManto and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Deletions from talk pages; Zippy and Seinfeld edit

Hi. I understand why you removed material from Talk:Zippy the Pinhead: you wrote it, and it had received no replies. However, you're not supposed to remove material (even your own material) from any talk page other than your own. (Yes, you're welcome to remove anything and everything from this talk page.)

My earlier response seems to have upset you. I don't make any secret of the fact that I think much US (and other) TV is junk. (Of course there are many honorable exceptions.) I may have been rude about TV; I hadn't intended to be rude about you or to you, and I'm sorry if that's how it looked.

The fact that something -- a comic strip, a comic character, a restaurant, a person, whatever -- is mentioned in this or that TV show (or movie, or comic strip, or novel, whatever) in itself seems entirely unremarkable. That doesn't mean that all mentions are unremarkable, but you have to show how a mention is remarkable. For example, if Zippy had been written in Lithuanian and unknown other than among speakers of Lithuanian, then any mention of it in Seinfeld would indeed be rather remarkable. And if Seinfeld had done something special with Zippy beyond merely mentioning it, or if something about the mention had merited a description or comment within a book about Seinfeld, that too would be remarkable. This has nothing whatever to do with the relative merits of Zippy and Seinfeld: Zippy has mentioned Seinfeld and I wouldn't add those mentions to the Seinfeld article. -- Hoary (talk) 02:08, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
